The history of the district

La Californie spreads over the heights of the east of Cannes, between the centre, the pointe Croisette to the south and the town of Le Cannet to the north. This residential hill was covered, in the late 19th and early 20th century, with aristocratic villas built by a European resort clientele, often hidden behind high gates, stone walls and tall umbrella pines.

The district is today one of the most prized in Cannes for prestige property. Its villas, its large estates and its upmarket residences enjoy open views over the bay, the Mediterranean and the Lérins islands. Several buildings here are listed in the heritage inventory, witnesses to the golden age of the Cannes resort era.

Sought after for its residential setting, its calm and its views, La Californie draws strong demand for villas and upmarket apartments. Supply, of higher quality and often high-end, supports prices well above the city average, driven by a national and international clientele seeking a second home.
